A Delicious Meal in an Epidemic Nightmare

Everywhere she looks, there are people with masks walking hastily in all directions avoiding each other’s gaze as if by a sole glance the virus would jump from the contaminated and possess the fresh healthy host. She was aware that she must keep her distance; a safe space of nearly 2 meters from each person she encounters, but people keep violating that vast personal space. It’s not like we have one of those large sidewalks that would make avoiding people less stressful. However, every time she passes dangerously enough near someone or when she accidentally stood right next to a random person at the grocery store, she tries her best to hold for as long as possible her breath, so hopefully she won’t inhale the deadly virus-charged air around him.  

What does it mean to be Human?

Before humans, earth was only occupied by a wide range of unconscious species; living creatures that are not conscious of what they are or where they are. They definitely care even less about what surrounds them, and they don’t bother to understand why the trees grow or to weave myths and stories to justify seasons change. They are plainly indifferent as to how their bodies function, how the universe works or even why they exist in the first place. They are just surviving; they eat, drink, sleep and mate to sustain their race. They are purely and solely satisfying their biological needs.

Why so afraid of Death?!

We live in a mortal body, we love, we hate, we dream, we struggle, and then we plainly die. But we are all afraid of death, for some reason, we hold on so tightly to this imperfect world; a world that involves an extreme beauty and good, as well as a harsh cruelty and evil. We get lost at the contemplation of breathtaking natural views and overwhelming kindness of awesome people, but we get also frightened by the merciless catastrophes and the brutality of vicious humans. Between those two extremities, we enjoy life and despise death.

Male, Female, and the Mother!

Imagine if the life of a helpless little being was entrusted to a basic non-upgraded human. To an average and moderately selfish person. To someone who is fully conscious of the priority of his own life and needs, and inherently masters the survival instinct gadgets for his sole benefit. To an individual whose brain, in an hour of distress, would systematically reject any attempt to be troubled by something else other than its intrinsic well being. And to a simple mortal who would commonly be unwilling to sacrifice the comfort of every atom in his body for the sake of another tiny and greedy creature! Have you imagined yet what would’ve happened? Well, I’ll plainly tell you: YOU WON’T BE EXISTING! Actually none of us would, the small portion that would survive, if not extinct, will certainly have a “saving human race” facility to thank for, an institution with conscription policy, and within which all the employees are forced to nurse at gunpoint, though lot of them end up committing a tragic suicide.

Women sexuality in a culture of shame

In a conservative society, that by the way exhibits its conservative principles on women mainly; sex related subjects are a prohibited taboo. But allow me, through the following, to dare and tackle the forbidden and put audacious light on its dark corners.
